Continuing Numbered Lists in Google Docs

Have you ever started a numbered list in Google Docs, only to find yourself needing to continue it after adding some text in between? I did! Here’s a quick guide on how to seamlessly continue your numbered lists:

Option 1: Manual Continuation (Easy)

1. Begin your numbered list as usual:

1. First item
2. Second item

2. Insert additional text or paragraphs.
3. When you’re ready to continue the numbered list, start the next paragraph with the following number in sequence:

3. Third item

Google Docs will automatically adjust the numbering for you.

Option 2: Using Google Docs Menu

1. Start your numbered list:

1. First item
2. Second item

2. Add text or paragraphs as needed.
3. To continue the list with automatic numbering:
   • Click on Format in the menu.
   • Go to Bullets & numbering > List options > Continue previous numbering.

This option ensures your list continues seamlessly without manual numbering adjustments.
